Nature's Mordant ™

from $19.95

Are you ready to dye beautiful botanical colors without having to rely on industrial chemicals like aluminum sulfate and stannous chloride to mordant your fiber? Then it’s time to try the natural solution: Nature’s Mordant™.

Nature’s Mordant™ is the 100% plant-based mordant for natural dyes. It contains a special blend of plant seed, gall, bark, and rind extracts that have been selected to work together in perfect harmony as fixatives for natural colors. Nature’s Mordant makes use of the tannins and minerals that are found naturally in plants in order to help fix dyes to wool, cotton, linen, and silk. Now you can create a palette of bright colors without having to treat your fabrics with industrial heavy metals and acids. Nature’s Mordant™ is simple to use and a little goes a long way: one ounce will mordant more than a pound of wool or half a pound of cotton. Please see our Guide to Nature’s Mordant for detailed instructions on applying it to different natural fibers, as well as a selection of useful color recipes.

Made in the USA from imported plant extracts. Note that Nature’s Mordant™ does not perform well in hard water. For best results we recommend aiming for a light or medium shade of color with most dyes. For textile projects only.
